Welcome to the Resource Library

About the Resource Library

This Resource Library is a collection of books, tapes, and DVDs, as well as instantly downloadable items, such as newsletters and tip sheets. You will find a wide variety of topics related to foster care, kinship caregiving, adoption, and more.

Wisconsin families and professionals are welcome to check out physical materials from our library for free (electronic items are available to all for free and on demand). The requested materials will be shipped to you with a postage-paid return envelope. You can help us serve more people by sending along a check for the amount of postage, if possible. You may check out four (4) items at a time and keep them for three (3) weeks.

TABLES OF CONTENTS

To help you navigate our rich library of free downloadable resources, we have created some table of contents documents that we hope you find helpful.
